Lil' Inker Designs May Release Blog Hop {Day3}

More fun from Lil' Inker Designs today! Are you ready? You should have arrived from Laura's blog. I am super excited to share a new product to the LID line-up.....Texture Plates! One side has a Woodgrain "Frame" and one side has a Plain "Frame". This texture plate works with any die cut machine using your usual embossing pads but for a limited time you can get them from LID if you don't have any!

I have 2 cards to share today. First up, is the new Texture Plate paired with the new small Bow Die. It's not too early to make your Father's Day cards and that's just what I did! I've used the Woodgrain Texture Plate to "frame" a Father's Day ribbon! The tails of the ribbon were stamped with the Houndstooth pattern from Flags and Tags (previously released). I love how this turned out!! My sentiment is also from this set but I just masked off the words to make them fit on my award ribbon!

My second card focuses on the Plain side of the plate. This card is for my MIL....she will LOVE it! I've used this side to "frame" a family photo taken recently on vacation. I've kept this simple for the sheer fact I didn't want to take away from the photo.

That's it from me today but I will have another card tomorrow using this Texture Plate for a very CAS card. Until then there is lots more inspiration from the DT showing off these dies so go check them out! Remember the prizes? This month's prizes will be a $10 store credit and a Sentiment Flags Additions set. Oh, and before I forget.....these and all the other goodies we are releasing are available RIGHT NOW! Check it out HERE.

Oh my goodness. Whre do I begin? Your Father's Day card is totally inventive! I love what you did with the Bow Dies to make the award! Love your use of the Texture Frame here! It made this project look effortless and beautiful. You family photo matted in the frame is also so spectacular!!! Absolutely wonderful stuff!!!

OMG!!!I SO love this frame!!I just...I just die!!I WANT it...it's so unique and just what I need...love, love, love it!! :)And the Father's Day card...fabulous!!And a special card just for you...you're all gorgeous...and love how you used the frame for remembering this special moment for all of you!! :)Just spectacular projects!!

Your MIL will love that card for sure! It is perfect!! I also love how you added the tails of the bow on the first card hanging down to make the ribbon! What a fabulous idea! I also like how you trimmed the frame down to a smaller size! It looks great that way!
